    Anyone try Isoacoustics Gaia’s and Townshend Seismic Podiums?

    Seems like another contender has arrived: https://stackaudio.co.uk/auvaisolator/ Paul Rigby prefers these over his Townshend Podiums: https://theaudiophileman.com/auva-isolator-feet-from-stack/ Hans Beekhuyzen prefers them over his Gaia IIs:

    Anyone try Isoacoustics Gaia’s and Townshend Seismic Podiums?

    Have there been any direct comparisons between the Seismic Podiums and the Arya Revopods yet? The Revopods are much less visually obtrusive and as such would have my initial preference. The Positive Feedback review of the Revopods didn’t like them on speakers however...

    AppleTV X - I am playing with something new

    Maybe I’m old school, but I would expect a review to include at least some description of the personal experience from the reviewer with the product. I couldn’t find this in the article. The author of the article himself has also categorized this in the news section of his website instead of the...

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers

    Thanks, my previous comment referred to an alternative with room correction and streaming built in. If I’m not mistaking, the Genelecs don’t have streaming and volume control built in, so you would need to add something like a Lumin. And GLM for room correction of course.

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers

    @rubinken you might also want to look into the new Dynaudio Focus series. These are wireless, come with Dirac included and have a more traditional look than the Kef LS60.

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers

    Thanks for this wealth of information! Have been looking into these speakers myself as possible successors of my Harbeths. Two questions following your last post: - the D&D website mentions a bitrate of 24/192 for both the digital input and the streaming input instead of 24/48, perhaps you have...

    Antipodes CX+EX

    @richard_crl032 it seems the PDF on the stereonet forum can’t be opened unless you are a forum member there. Would it be possible for you to share the file on this forum?

    Furutech Flux 50 NCF

    I have two of them. Have been using them on my digital components (DAC and streamer) for a while. Recently put one of them on my Furutech TP609 NCF power distributor as a test and this made a huge change. So my guess is the SQ of analogue components is also affected by the Flux.

    Isolation power transformer

    Manufacturers seem to disagree on this. Others such as PliXiR and Mudra Akustik claim it’s better to isolate components separately by their own IT. Audioplan from Germany also takes this approach with the addition that all separate ITs should be connected to the same power strip. I‘m not a...

    LFD Cables (phono and I.C.) from the UK, cables as components

    FWIW the brand LFD is most known for its amplifiers. Various models of their integrated amps have been part of the Stereophile Recommended Component list for quite some time. The owner stays away from PR and advertising as the demand for the products tends to be greater than supply. The brand...
